the big 3 will never be able to make it until the union contracts are redone. half of something is better than all of nothing!

If all the people on this thread are for bailing out the rich,why don't you vote to bail them out on the poll thread? 68 no bail out to 17 bail them out at 8:24 am.

they need restructuring, not handouts........ if the Gov bails them out, who will be next.....

I'm having it tough, I'm pinching pennies and having to do without.... it want hurt the fat cats to do the same for a while.... cut the CEO's pay, do away with ALL bonus, trim fat from top to bottom.... restructure the contracts and get back to work....

it won't kill the workers to start budgeting to live on $20.00 an hour ($55.00 including benefits) instead of $33.00 an hour ($77.00 including benefits)

trim $13.00 off hour wages and $9.00 (per hour) benefits, gives them $22.00 an hour savings... that will get them all started in the right direction.......

I don't want to hear any of the bullcrap either... the Auto workers want everything to stay just like it is especially their "WALLETS"... the rest of us are suffering, why should my tax dollars go to make it so you don't have to alter your present life styles??????????
if you like working for 1 of the Big 3, take a reduction in hourly pay and keep your job or get another job......

I think if the Big 3 can afford to buy ballfields,give money every weekend during games and sponsor all the different types of marketing that they do that they should maybe learn to start cutting back. I know it would hurt the country to let these companies fail, but if they go into bankruptcy they would be allowed to restructure the entire operation and start over like the rest of the country forced to file a bankruptcy. I beleive the auto workers are overpaid, but it's not there fault. If you have someone telling you take more money, you would do it everytime! But when the goodtimes come, adjust like the rest of us and move on. At least they still have a job to go to. And for the one's on here posting that their are plenty of jobs out there right now?? Please show me where to find them!!!

Just out of curiosity, how many people on here would buy a vehicle from a bankrupt company?

Do any of you really believe that the big 3 automakers are really going to go under in the first place? These companies have been around for a while, and if the Great Depression didn't do them in then I don't imagine there going anywhere anytime soon no matter if they get the bail out or not??? Think about it..they've been in the industry since the beginning of the automobile and have faced many struggles that make this look small in comparison??

That is kinda what I was getting at (the govt. has a plan for everything don't they) but there was a local poll and the #s weren't to encouraging as far as people buying vehicles from a co. in bankruptcy

from what i been reading is they want to help the big3
but there is stuff "added to the bill that if passed'" will give raise's to people(congress i think)
not got nothing to do with the big 3 plus other stuff tacked onto the bill to sneak a free ride that also got nothing to do with the big 3 problem,,

the big problem on the bill to help the big 3 is

"all the freeloaders trying to hitch a ride on the bill to help the auto people"
